you maybe bemused about a laptop on tv screen...............
im using it in a radiostudio for reading the prepared scripts, i'm sure
i saved 100 trees by now in not printing the scripts,
what i'm missing is: i cannot connect the powerbook to the mixer desk &
play the music directly from there, i still have to burn rw disk & feed
them into the cd player...............
additionally you could have adls/internet & respond to the emails the
listener / tv watchers sending you, or retrieve info you need during
the tv show, or the producer communicates to you(the presenter) via
internal lan network, a large clock for precise programming & ad
placements should be on screen too
powerbook 17" = most versatile audio / video recording & editing
studio!!!!

It bemuses me though what good a laptop is to a tv presenter, unless
they have a shedule, Q cards or the like on the screen.

When I studied IT at TAFE an early unit traced the history of the
modern computer.
The first portable was said to be the Osborne, when asked (by me I
think) what it was for, he said 'mainly as a status symbol'.
On the whole I dont see much has changed really, most laptops do their
stuff atop a desk anyway...
Not all but most. What does Rove use his for? George Negus' one,
albeit not an Apple?
At least the iPod can play music to you while it makes you look good
out on the street;)
